We had a wonderful visit to Nijo Castle this morning with our guide, Naoya. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the history of the castle, the shoguns and the different rooms of the Ninomaru Palace truly come alive. His explanations added so much to the experience and helped us notice and understand details we would certainly have missed on our own. Naoya was also very friendly, engaging and happy to answer all our questions. We highly recommend taking a guided tour of Nijo Castle.
Great experience! Nao was a special guide that provided us with a lot of interesting information
Our guide, Kris, was super informative and friendly. A pleasure to have him guide us through this magnificent historical icon.
Sarah was a great guide who told of a lot of interesting facts and history about the Castle!
Our travel agent booked this tour for us, and it was a wonderful surprise. We found Sarah very easily at our meeting point, and the tour lasted about 1.5 hours. Sarah was an amazing guide—friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. She shared many interesting historical facts along the way. I highly recommend this tour. 100% worth it!
